Potato Nut Loaf With Lentil Grain Bread


“Would you like to stay for dinner?” my grandma asked. “Oh yes!” my sister and I chorused before my mom even had the slightest chance to say otherwise. Her food was always simple but tasted amazing and she seemed to always have someone dropping over for a meal every day. Her hospitality was something to be admired. When we would eat at her house even the most despised vegetables tasted phenomenal.

Grandma rarely cooked using a recipe, but I guess that is the sign of an incredible cook who knows her way around a kitchen and how to cook for the hungry grandchildren or guests that were always around her table. She was German, and potatoes, in some form, were just about a must at every meal. I have fond memories of eating her potato nut loaf, and although this recipe barely does hers justice, it has become something of a favorite of ours.

This recipe is quick to make, and leftovers make a great sandwich filling. I like using our Lentil Grain bread because there are 6 grams of protein in every slice.
